Multi-term synchronization password

Hello,
Thank you for replying.
Yes, of course. I have followed the course X times in a row only to hit the same dead end without being able to install "this multi-term synchronization password" that is required, nor to get them to explain its usefulness or function.
I deduced on my own that its function was "synchronization" with other devices such as mobile phones, tablets, etc... However, I do not have any. I wrote to them and repeated this without getting the slightest response. Neither yes nor no. Just a robotic thank you for my questions addressed to the god Google.
I conclude therefore that, if they cannot (not yet!) legally force me to do so, they would subtly encourage me, without stating it but in all good "logic", to buy a mobile phone and the corresponding subscription. (I understand them, it's so absurd, an internet user without their complete set!)
Because now, in the name of the organization against hacking that they are implementing, the security they offer us, for them, requires, in addition to the classic identity password related to the subscription contract with them, that we provide the number of this mobile phone that we are all supposed to have. And they are not the only ones, I know that!
(And it would probably be even better if I bought the next one they are fine-tuning in competition with the very next iPhone, right?!...)
Do you think my deduction is coherent?
Thank you for your response.

Hello,

Google's Chrome browser allows you to create a "Google Chrome" account, and thus it is possible, according to Google, to
""save your bookmarks, extensions, apps, themes, and browser preferences in your Google account so that you can access them from any computer used. This way, you will benefit from the same web experience everywhere."

If you have signed up for this service, you must not only secure access to your account (classic password) but also encrypt the personal data that you will deposit and synchronize there. This encryption is done by Google servers, which generate an encryption key based by default on your account password. Thus, all deposited data is no longer readable by a human or by a computer that does not know the encryption key.
However, Google's servers store your password somewhere because they need to recognize it when you enter it. So we can say that Google servers "know" your password. Imagine if a hacker accesses these passwords and decrypts them: they could then generate the encryption key for your account and thus access your data...
It is unlikely, but the risk is not zero.

That is why Google suggests using ""a custom multi-term password instead of your Google account password to encrypt synchronized data. This password is stored locally on your computer and is not transmitted to Google."
This method is therefore more reliable.

So from my point of view, Google is not trying to impose the complete toolkit of the perfect Internet user on you but rather offers you more security over the data you will deposit on their servers.

Thank you for your very clear response, _Ritchi_.
Apologies for the whiny tone of my rambling. It was the result of hours spent going in circles about this problem.
Indeed, my subscription is to Google Chrome.
I typed, in the requested place, a password that I invented, different from the others. It was refused. So what do they need as a "password"????
Well, I'll give it another try...
Thanks again... and maybe see you soon if the problem persists.
